 AK550 local dealer:
 $9899 MSRP.
$485. Freight set up.
$1550 A.D.M. 
Plus dealer doc fees, 9.5% sales tax and $400+ registration fees. NOPE.
  I'm more shocked that people are actually paying these inflated prices on cars and motorcycles.  They couldn't charge it, if there were no buyers.
 I guess that goes for everything these days, houses, cars, etc.

I've seen the "pirate crowd" and "crotch rocket" guys, do the smoked lens thing with their bikes. As I told a Pirate friend of mine, "I want to be seen". Light it up, baby.

 Top end in mine has always been around 58-60 mph. At 500 miles on yours, I wouldn't do that too often. Let it break in. It will smooth out around 1k miles. I have always read, that it is best to let the motor break before changing to synthetic oil. 
 Freeway riding the Like can be sketchy. Poor road conditions and our wonderful so cal drivers can be a deciding factor. I have only ridden on the freeways with my Like on Sunday mornings. That was when I was on the way to a scooter meet up, or during the lockdown when everyone was hiding in their homes.
 Based on your freeway choices, I assume you are in the south bay. If you are interested in group rides, check out the South Bay Scooter Club, Long Beach Scooter Club, or Long Beach Area Scooter Group. There are a couple of Likes in those groups.
Good luck with your new ride.

 It happens a lot in major cities. Here they will stop traffic on a freeway with cars or motorcycles and do donuts in all lanes. They are mostly thugs trying to get a rise out of people. There is no penalties for things like that anymore here.

  I started having problems from a dead stop where the bike would feel like it was dragging and no pick up. I originally thought it might be the electrical gremlins returning. I realized it was the clutch hanging up.
 I replaced the original clutch as a test with an aftermarket gy6 Ebay clutch on a recommendation by an inmate here a few years ago. It seemed like it had a heavier spring and definitely larger pads. Although, I had to scuff them up more frequently than the original, the clutch worked well.
 Well now Its acting up. I removed it and inspected it. Springs are good, surface could use a cleaning but otherwise seemed ok. It seemed to be hanging up on the pivot points of the pads. ( I don't know the correct term).
 Anyway, I had bought an OEM replacement at the same time I bought the Ebay clutch. Replaced clutch and no more problems.
The $35.00 clutch lasted for 5k miles. Not too good, but the OEM was $95.00. We will see. The LX has 15k miles at this time. Still cruising.

 I have met a couple of riders from this forum through the local scooter club. Also I have met several from the ADV forum through the same club.

 I finally managed to navigate the chaotic L.A. County websites. My first appointment is on 3/30. I am a bit concerned about side effects, since my Covid case was a little rough. The pneumonia and recovery kept me off work for a while. Thankfully, I fared better than a lot of people.
